Here at The Beverly Hills Comprehensive Medical Group, we offer spinal decompression for individuals suffering from lower back pain due to bulging and herniated discs.
Benefits of Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression is effective at treating back pain and sciatica that is caused by bulging or herniated discs. The discs in the back are bloodless. They contain fluids and nutrients and help cushion the vertebrae. However, since the discs are bloodless, they can be difficult to heal once they become injured.
Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine. This is typically performed on a table. Decompression increases the spaces between the vertebrae, which allows the bulging discs to retract into their normal positions and refill with fluid. Once the discs are retracted, back pain is reduced.
Spinal Decompression with our Beverly Hills Chiropractor
If you have bulging discs or sciatica, spinal decompression may be right for you. It is a completely non-invasive treatment option. Our chiropractor can assess the causes of your back pain and determine if mechanical traction is right for you.
If it is determined that you would benefit from spinal decompression, our chiropractor will introduce you to our decompression table. The table is controlled by a powerful computer that regulates the pressure placed on your spine and your treatment length.
Our chiropractor will place a belt around your midsection and ask you to lie on our decompression table. The table will be positioned to isolate the vertebrae that need stretched. You will them be connected to the pulley system, and your spine will be gently stretched.
Most individuals feel pressure on their spine but no pain. In fact, some individuals find it relaxing and notice an immediate reduction in their back pain. However, it may take several sessions before significant benefits are noticed.
